5.0 out of 5 stars What You Need To Know About THis Release, March 14, 2006

"Music To Watch Girls By" (the Diet Pepsi-Cola jingle) was transformed into a top 15 smash hit, which led to several successful albums. Bob Crewe has personally selected the best 18 tracks from those albums, which are included in "The Best Of The Bob Crewe Generation." The songs are a mix of well-known pop songs plus several Bob Crewe originals. As a bonus track, the mono single version of "Music To Watch Girls By" also appears. Most of these songs are being issued on CD for the very first time.

4.0 out of 5 stars The sixties still swing, December 6, 2006

What great sounds there were in the sixties! The tune "Music to Watch Girls By" is even better in stereo, but kudos to the record label for including the mono version as well. These are mostly instrumental covers of sixties pop tunes and standards; for me, the standouts are a downtempo "Let's Hang On" and the theme from "Barbarella." Bob Crewe wrote the liner notes; these are unintentionally humorous, as the far-from-humble Crewe brags about how he composes and arranges without knowing how to read music or play an instrument. Crewe doesn't explain why "Birds of Britain" and "Street Talk," the only other Bob Crewe Generation singles to hit the Billboard charts in the latter part of the sixties, aren't included in this "Best of" compilation. They should have been.

I was looking for this record to become a CD as I still own a vynil mono sound record. Recordings and sound are great.
I look forward to see the album " Let me touch you " released in CD. For collectors and Bob Crewe fans this album is very very good.
